Anyone using apex to control there vortechs?? Anyone know what code to use to make them not start full power after a power outage?

Fallback OFF

tdata 00:00:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 07:04:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 10:12:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 15:51:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 20:25:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 23:43:00,0,0,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
If FeedA 000 Then ON
 
setup a vortech profile with speed and mode and then change your fallback to that profile. Also noticed you have if feedA then ON. On will start at full power. Change the Feed to then off. Once the feed cancels it will go back to auto. If power to the pumps is lost when it recovers it will use fallback profile 1st then go into the applicable programming. My programing below.

Fallback VortechFeed //VortechFeed Profile is setup as Constant 20%
tdata 00:00:00,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 06:38:00,0,0,25,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 10:21:00,0,0,65,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 16:00:00,0,0,70,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 16:30:00,0,0,90,3,37,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 20:30:00,0,0,70,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
tdata 21:00:00,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
If Output Storms = ON Then Reefcrest //Run pumps with Reefcrest profile if storms (virtual outlet)goes on this also sets my Radions to storm.
If Output autofeed = ON Then VortechFeed //Run profile VortechFeed (constant 20%)
If FeedA 000 Then VortechFeed //Manual Feed. I use the autofeeder only when I am away.
If FeedD 000 Then OFF //My maintenance switch to shut everything off during water changes
Defer 005:00 Then ON. //Wait 5 minutes if shutoff then power on which gives me time to fill back up before vortechs turn on again.

Let me know if you need any more information. I am always happy to help folks.
